Stentor cells display a basic form of learning, but how does a cell with no nervous system encode memory? Find out how @deeparajan.bsky.social is tackling this question at her ASCB poster B561 Probing molecular substrates of memory in the single cell Stentor coeruleus. Mon 12/16 11:15-12:45

Fantastic #ASCB #CellBio2024 meeting here in San Diego. Would like to highlight our student @abbasz.bsky.social talk this afternoon in the Climate Change session on mammalian-algae endosymbiosis.

If you’ve read our work (research.arcadiascience.com) and think @arcadiascience.bsky.social might be a good fit for you, check our open positions (jobs.lever.co/arcadiascience)! No booth this year at but I’ll be in the poster hall throughout #CellBio2024 so flag me down if you have questions!

Join the Starr-Luxton lab & friends at #ASCB2024! Bringing exciting new research on nuclear envelope dynamics and cytoskeletal crosstalk. 2 Talks + 3 Posters, Dec 15-16 in San Diego Topics: KASH proteins, motor proteins, nuclear movement & cellular biophysics!

At a meeting 🧪🩺

Fun read in Science this week about the Genentech patents www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Looks very exciting and tractable

Registration opening soon!

Okay cell biologists - where are you? 👀

There's clearly been a surge in activity and hundreds of new members in the last few days. Starter packs are a good starting point to reconnect, for example go.bsky.app/RN6HnZp

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Today we celebrate the life of Warren DeLano. Warren is best known for his development of PyMOL, the tool we use almost every day to depict 3D molecular structure of small molecules and proteins. Please post your favourite PyMOL illustration. Tag with #PyMOL #WarrenDeLano #PyMOL #Chemsky 🧪

Well that was eggshausting!

Can’t resist

It is fun to connect the dots in history but the future is unwritten and unpredictable. Working on exciting & important projects with talented & inspired collaborators should always be the priority.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #951,556!

Love to see this 🧪

I’ve had this coffee cup for about 20 years. Still keeps the coffee warm. Amazing creation.

Weekend reading. Loving all the details coming out about LAG3 mechanisms recently. These structural studies make it real. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My second trip to Kona Hawaii this month for the DAVA Breast cancer summit. #academiclife

Weekend reading! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac... Anti-LAG-3 boosts CD8 T cell effector function

I have 14500 followers on twitter and I post lots of positive gentle stuff there I would dearly like to have that many here on Bsky but it might take years. As an artist who sells my work directly via the web I keep using twitter rather than starving but my goodness I wish I didn’t need to

🌍 We have just extracted a NEW global network of researchers and a global 100 scientist top ‘influencers’ on Bluesky. @lassehjorthmadsen.bsky.social and I show that scientists are in a series of distinct communities: mikeyoungacademy.dk/communities-... 😀 All 'likes' and reshares appreciated!

Love the breadth and scope!

We are looking to hire some scientists at various levels from techs to grad students, postdocs or senior scientists. Check out our projects here: gruberlabutsw.org Please re-post.

“Wayne Dyer says that when you squeeze an orange, what comes out is orange juice. When you get squeezed, whatever comes out is what’s inside you.” Wonderful quote stolen from Rick Rubin’s book The Creative Act.

Hellooo Bluesky! I am trying to grow my tiny lab at Vanderbilt and am recruiting 1-2 postdocs who will help me tackle addiction heterogeneity. Please reach out if interested! All reposts are appreciated! www.vanderbilt.edu/postdoc/posi...

MIT general is here (oge.mit.edu/msrp/) There is also a separate MSRP for the Biology department (biology.mit.edu/program-deta...) but many of us biologists are in other departments (I'm in CEE!) and recruit from the general program.

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... One of the most interesting epigenetic papers I have seen in a while. Proposes that 3 simple rules govern inheritance of epigenetic states. One for the textbooks.

Seems very useful. We throw away a lot of males.

I’ve got about 1/40th as many followers on this site as I had on the bird site, but I feel I’ve almost got enough to have conversations and make connections like I did before the other place went 😵. Need to keep posting here and visit there less. Thanks for being here everyone! #academicsky

This is my Fish Crow. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My Fish Crow is my best friend. It is my life

Excited to see the main chapter of my PhD published! This was a huge team effort - the experimental setup alone took years to complete and none of it would have been possible without my colleagues Konstantin Neuhaus and Kazuki Nosho, as well as of course my supervisor Knut Drescher and many others!
